How a new crop reshaped land use in Bronze Age Europe
A new study pushes back the earliest known millet consumption in Bronze Age Europe by more than a century. Researchers found evidence of millet eating in southeastern Poland around 1590 BCE. The finding comes from a study of human remains from Bronze Age Poland, covering about 2200 to 1000 BCE...

The surprising origins of Britain’s Bronze Age immigrants revealed.
About 4600 years ago, the population of Britain was replaced by a people who brought Bell Beaker pottery with them.
Now, ancient DNA has uncovered the murky story of where these people came from.

So, in addition to demonizing #Matriarchal societies, #Homer took a stab at the survivors of the #BronzeAgeCollapse on #Crete by turning them into the #Cyclops! Not a surprise! I noticed that #Odysseus eyed the "Cyclops Island" as prime #RealEstate (like a typical #Colonist!). Of course the so-called "civilized" #AncientGreeks had to demonize peoples who had lived under female rulers or NO RULERS!
Were the Odyssey’s #Cyclopes Actually #Minoans?
By Caleb Howells, January 6, 2026
Excerpt: "Drawing on his experience sailing a replica of an Ancient Greek galley, Severin estimated that Odysseus would have reached the coast of Libya, specifically near the site that later became the Greek colony of Cyrene. This was the Land of the Lotus Eaters. From there, Odysseus resumed his journey back to Ithaca, logically sailing north toward Southern Greece. Along this route, he would likely have arrived at the southwestern corner of #Crete, where the peninsula of #Paleochora was once separated from the main island, forming a small offshore island.
"This scenario closely matches the Odyssey’s description of Odysseus arriving at a small island situated just beside the island where the Cyclopes lived.
How the Cyclopes match the Minoans of Crete
"Severin’s argument that Crete was the island of the Cyclopes is highly compelling. But how do the Minoans fit into this theory? Regarding the Minoan city of Kommos in southern Crete, Severin noted its abandonment in the Late Bronze Age and asked:
" 'What had happened to the survivors of Kommos and the other Minoan settlements along this coast? Could they have fallen back to the barest subsistence level, living in caves and practicing the sort of simple pastoral farming that Ulysses found among the Cyclopes?'
"In essence, Severin suggested that the Cyclopes of the Odyssey may have been Minoans who, after the collapse of their magnificent #BronzeAge civilization, returned to a #simpler, more primitive way of life. While Severin did not explore this idea in depth, a closer examination reveals there is substantial evidence for this."

Scientists Have Uncovered Evidence Of #Ireland's Largest #Prehistoric #Hillfort Settlement

“In a recent study [(link above), the authors] identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort [Ireland], making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far. Subsequent test excavations revealed evidence of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age occupation as well as a potential water cistern, which may be the very first of its kind in an Irish hillfort…”

Large Groups Came Together for Grand Feasts at the End of the #BronzeAge in Britain
After analyzing bone fragments found in millennia-old trash piles, researchers say that people may have brought livestock from far and wide to consume in the south
by Sonja Anderson
September 12, 2025"Nearly 3,000 years ago, groups gathering for feasts in southern Britain gnawed the meat off enough bones to generate massive trash heaps. These mounds, which became part of the British landscape, are known as middens. Now, a new analysis of material from six middens is providing insight into the scope of ancient feasting.
"The middens date back to the late Bronze Age, which was a time of '#SocietalShifts across Europe,' according to a study published this month in the journal iScience. During this period, huge crowds came together for 'feasts on a scale unparalleled in British prehistory.'
" 'I’m pretty sure these gatherings would have had a really important role to play in creating some degree of community cohesion at a time of trouble,' co-author Richard Madgwick, an archaeologist at Cardiff University, tells the Guardian’s Steven Morris."
